Houston19514 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Is the Proton Therapy Center in the UTHealth Research Park (the topic of this thread)? It is an MD Anderson project, so it seems unlikely; or is the Research Park actually a UT System Research Park (and not just UTHealth)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Anderson has facilities located within the UTHealth Research Park Complex. Pister's is working on a 90-acre master plan for the site. Lots of room for expansion. I know of 2 future expansions already 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods, could the title of the thread be revised to correct this naming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Found an online interview with Engineer William Daigneau. Mr. Daigneau is a leader in healthcare facilities management for MD Anderson. https://mdanderson.libguides.com/DaigneauW In the interview he talks about MD Anderson's South Campus, the Research Park. Quote Mr. Daigneau goes into detail about the development of Research Park (and refinement of the Master Plan), beginning with Dr. John Mendelsohn’s invitation to the Health Science Center to embark on a joint development project. He explains how the 100 acres was subdivided into lots to support buildings of thirty five to fifty thousand square feet. Mr. Daigneau tells the story of negotiating with the Health Science Center for use of land that currently housed an ecological park used for environmental studies, a process that took a year, with the Regents eventually intervening in MD Anderson’s favor. He then explains the negotiation process required to develop the roadways and infrastructure and explains how he worked with Governmental Affairs to secure start-up money from the Governor’s office to develop infrastructure. Mr. Daigneau also explains why MD Anderson has never been successful in attracting a third collaborator to develop the property. He then goes on to describe the process of building Research Building 2, a structure that included services demanded by users of Research Building 1, and Research Building 3 –a collaborative effort between MD Anderson and the Health Science Center. He then mentions other structures added to the campus. Mr. Daigneau next recalls negotiations over seven years with the National Guard and National Reserve to acquire essential pieces of the 100 acres of land. He describes failed negotiations with the Department of Defense and then explains how Congressional discussions of base closings helped set the scene for resolution of the problem. He notes that he worked with Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson to resolve the problem. In the final minutes of this segment, Mr. Daigneau lists other structures and parcels of land that are available for further development, noting that MD Anderson controls all the land north of Main Campus and also holds South Campus as areas for research development. He lists other occupants of South Campus: Physical Plant, Hazardous Waste Processing, and land to build a new vivarium. Mr. Daigneau also notes the acquisition of East Campus near Alameda. “It’s like a big jigsaw,” Mr. Daigneau says, “but all planned rather than haphazard.” 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
